Game thread. WSU vs ASU

[anon_1nb5kgc7kwlls]

Way more effort by ASU. It's not even close.

HOW DOES A 1-6 TEAM HAVE MORE HEART AND EFFORT THAN WSU?

I'm pissed

 

[Coug90]

Well. Their punter is more athletic than the guys on our special teams…

 

[Loyal Coug1]

Basically we have not gotten any better since the start of the season. Other teams have.

 

[Suudy]

They should blitz every play. We can’t stop it.

I'm so disappointed with our offense this year... I don't even know where to start.

But I will say this...

I think a dead... blind... mute... donkey could choose better 2nd half offenses.

This is just bizzare. We had been some of the greatest offenses in all of college football and now we are this?

Disgusting

we have flashes of brilliance. Cam looks like an all-pro on some of his passes. But he has no pocket presence, and is victimized by his line.

This loss is on the defense

This is coaching……. Far and away this is coaching. Stubbornly sticking with Ward is hurting this team. Our LBs are trash and our DLine couldn’t shed a block thrown by the desert breeze. Disgusting display of football…. Never have I seen such a fall from grace as we have this year. It’s incomprehensible to me the way these guys are playing. No fire, no heart and no direction.

Well that too.

There’s no synergy between the coaches and players. Plays are called that they clearly can’t execute. Theres things the line can and can’t do and there’s zero playing to their relative strengths. Wards talented but puts his OLine on their heels he’s too predictable with his cadence and can’t make a pre snap read at all…could be coaching too but it’s very apparent. The defense is a mess. Not much else to say. As a team this is as disappointing as ‘19 and the Brink years.

After the loss in the bowl game last year, what did Dickert do to improve the roster? How did the team get better?

Coaching??? nope
Upgrade in talent??? nope

He victimizes his line. How many times did they time up the blitz perfectly, bring an extra guy, and he had nobody hot. His line isn’t great but he makes them look like shit cuz he’s got zero pre snap awareness.

I am still trying to figure out why we hate Tight Ends so much. We have occasional great plays and then act like they don't exist for 30 plays in a row.

And yes... I know they come in and block on blitzes, but I have seen zillions of TE quickouts... drags up the middle... hell... even TE screens.

I feel like our offense surrenders. Our line can't "attack". Ward can't find his testicles enough to scramble for quickies.

Our Offensive Strategy seems to be more of Awesome on 1st / early series. Stupid for a while. Minor flash back to awesome. All outweighed by 20 minutes of "WTF"?

I see Mateer had 1 carry for 15 yards. Somehow I missed that play.....

We need to play up tempo, that is when we move the ball

 

[M-I-Coug]

So what does the stadium look like? How many Cougs? vs how many ASU fans? The camera panned the stadium and it looked like a parking lot.

Honestly, I would say 30% of the stadium were COUGS. There were so many COUGS here, probably a lot of retirees, but also saw young and all ages. Just tons, everywhere.

 

[Scarlet Matador]

Refuses to run the ball!! End of story!!

The conference is loaded this year. More physical than it’s been in years. The bottom half of the P12 would roll the bottom half of every other conference.
